Overview
Two wounded souls commiserate through drinking and aimless wandering while acting out the roles of the happy relationships that elude them in reality. Greta Gerwig and Olly Alexander deliver beautifully-tuned comic performances in their portrayal of young adults learning to cope with the unavoidable perils of emotional dependency.
This is one of the best indie movies that I have ever seen. It is rare to see good writing, acting and production come together in indie movies. I have been a fan of Ms. Gerwig for a long time, and this is probably her best work. I tend to be partial to the movies where a group of people are in their own little bubble before heading back to their own individual realities.
